In 2012, a portable caffeine inhaler will be available for sale
Last reviewed: 23.04.2024
In January 2012, a portable inhaler will be available in stores in New York and Boston, which will be an alternative to coffee and energy drinks.
Externally, the inhaler looks like a cylinder the size of a hunting cartridge and carries 100 mg. Caffeine. To get a dose of caffeine, you need to pull the bottom, green end of the cylinder and just take a breath. The "charge" of the inhaler contains 100 mg of caffeine and vitamin B. The powder is strongly crushed, but its particles are large enough to not penetrate into the lungs. The inhaler is designed for 6-8 doses.
AeroShot, as its authors called it, is very similar to the inhaler "chocolate breath", which was released in 2009, and it's strange, because they have one creator David Edwards.
